Unless a hearing is voluntarily waived by the person, the court shall hold a hearing on the matter. The court may not extend the maximum period of the sentence beyond the amount allowable under sub.

973.032 AnnotationWhen a presentence investigation recommends it, nothing prohibits a court from sentencing a person to the intensive sanctions program although the sentencing guidelines would recommend probation. State v. Miller, 180 Wis. 2d 320, 509 N.W.2d 98 (Ct. App. 1993).
973.032 AnnotationAn extension of confinement under this provision may be appealed by common law writ of certiorari. The time for appeal is governed by s. 808.04. State v. Bridges, 195 Wis. 2d 254, 536 N.W.2d 153 (Ct. App. 1995), 94-0880.
973.032 AnnotationThe extension of a placement period under the intensive sanctions program must be based on public safety considerations and the participant’s need for punishment and treatment. All that needs to be shown at an extension hearing is that the participant has not made sufficient progress in the program and that more time is required to meet those concerns. State v. Turner, 200 Wis. 2d 168, 546 N.W.2d 880 (Ct. App. 1996), 95-1295.
973.032 AnnotationThe right, under s. 972.14 (2), of a defendant to make a statement prior to sentencing does not apply to an extension of a placement under the intensive sanctions program. State v. Turner, 200 Wis. 2d 168, 546 N.W.2d 880 (Ct. App. 1996), 95-1295.

973.035 HistoryHistory: 1983 a. 332; 1989 a. 31; 1991 a. 39.
973.04973.04Credit for imprisonment under earlier sentence for the same crime. When a sentence is vacated and a new sentence is imposed upon the defendant for the same crime, the department shall credit the defendant with confinement previously served.
973.04 HistoryHistory: 1983 a. 66, 528.
973.04 AnnotationWhile periods of time served due to an indigent’s inability to post bail prior to trial must be credited as time served on a prison sentence imposed, a court need not credit time served by an indigent offender against probationary confinement. State v. Avila, 192 Wis. 2d 870, 532 N.W.2d 423 (1995).
973.04 AnnotationAn offender is not entitled to additional sentence credit under this section when: 1) the vacated sentence was originally imposed concurrent to a separate sentence; 2) the separate sentence is not vacated; 3) the vacated sentence is reimposed consecutively to the non-vacated sentence; and 4) the time that the defendant requested was served in satisfaction of the sentence that was not vacated. State v. Lamar, 2011 WI 50, 334 Wis. 2d 536, 799 N.W.2d 758, 08-2206.
973.042973.042Child pornography surcharge.
973.042(1)(1)In this section, “image” includes a video recording, a visual representation, a positive or negative image on exposed film, and data representing a visual image.
973.042(2)(2)If a court imposes a sentence or places a person on probation for a crime under s. 948.05, 948.12, or 948.125 and the person was at least 18 years of age when the crime was committed, the court shall impose a child pornography surcharge of $500 for each image or each copy of an image associated with the crime.

973.042(4)(4)After determining the amount due, the clerk of court shall collect and transmit the amount to the county treasurer under s. 59.40 (2) (m). The county treasurer shall then make payment to the secretary of administration under s. 59.25 (3) (f) 2.

973.042 HistoryHistory: 2005 a. 433; 2013 a. 20; 2023 a. 224.
973.042 AnnotationThe child pornography surcharge under sub. (2) is not punitive. Under the intent-effects test, the primary function of the child pornography surcharge statute is not punitive nor is the child pornography surcharge punitive in effect. The surcharge is linked to funding of investigations of sexual exploitation of children and possession of child pornography and grants to eligible public agencies or nonprofit organizations that provide counseling services to victims of sexual assault. Therefore, the circuit court in this case did not need to inform the defendant of the child pornography surcharge during the plea colloquy. State v. Schmidt, 2021 WI 65, 397 Wis. 2d 758, 960 N.W.2d 888, 20-0616.
973.042 AnnotationThe child pornography surcharge under sub. (2) applies to every image of child pornography that forms the basis of a charge of sexual exploitation of a child or possession of child pornography, regardless of whether those images form the basis of either a convicted charge or a read-in charge, so long as those images of child pornography are connected to and brought into relation with the convicted individual’s offense of sexual exploitation of a child or possession of child pornography. A circuit court must impose the child pornography surcharge for those images. State v. Schmidt, 2021 WI 65, 397 Wis. 2d 758, 960 N.W.2d 888, 20-0616.

973.043(2)(2)After determining the amount due, the clerk of court shall collect and transmit the amount to the county treasurer under s. 59.40 (2) (m). The county treasurer shall then make payment to the secretary of administration under s. 59.25 (3) (f) 2.
973.043(3)(3)All moneys collected from drug offender diversion surcharges shall be credited to the appropriation account under s. 20.455 (2) (kv) and used for the purpose of making grants to counties under s. 165.95.
973.043(4)(4)If an inmate in a state prison or a person sentenced to a state prison has not paid the drug offender diversion surcharge under this section, the department shall assess and collect the amount owed from the inmate’s wages or other moneys. Any amount collected shall be transmitted to the secretary of administration.
973.043 HistoryHistory: 2005 a. 25; 2013 a. 20.

973.0455(2)(2)After the clerk determines the amount due, the clerk of court shall collect and transmit the amount to the county treasurer under s. 59.40 (2) (n). The county treasurer shall then distribute the moneys under s. 59.25 (3) (gm).
